My path has been defined by resilience, determination, and a steadfast commitment to fostering meaningful change. As a single mother, I faced one of my greatest challenges when my son was born with a condition that caused his feet to turn inward. Witnessing his struggle to take his first steps and supporting him through numerous treatments and therapies taught me the true meaning of perseverance. Today, I am proud to say that he is a thriving 7-year-old, enjoying football and excelling in martial arts—living proof of the power of unwavering faith and relentless effort.

This personal experience has profoundly influenced my perspective on leadership, empowerment, and the necessity of accessible support systems. It has strengthened my belief that no obstacle is insurmountable when approached with the right resources, guidance, and community support.

With a solid background in socio-economics, fundraising, business development, and strategic leadership, I have committed my career to bridging gaps in education, economic equity, and social empowerment. Joining The First Hope Center aligns seamlessly with my values and mission: to create opportunities for those facing systemic barriers, just as I once did. As COO, I am dedicated to driving operational excellence, developing sustainable programs, and ensuring our initiatives make a tangible, lasting impact.

My journey has been about transforming struggles into strengths, challenges into opportunities, and hope into reality. This is the vision I bring to The First Hope Center—
because I understand firsthand the transformative power of hope when it is supported by action.
